Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for zwangsge ⁇ coupled adjustment of the seat and backrest of a dental patient's chair ⁇ medical according to the preamble of Anspru ⁇ ches. 1
  • a patient chair with such a device is known, for example, from European Patent 0 373 245.
  • European Patent 0 373 245. Although the device described there allows the seat to be brought into a relatively low end position, the parts provided for inclining the backrest and tilting the seat relative to the upper part take up a relatively large amount of space.
  • Another patient chair is known from DE-Al 3 018 684, in which the seat cover is subdivided into a seat part which supports a buttocks and thighs and a lower leg support which is pivotably arranged relative to the latter. So that the lower leg support can be short and can be pivoted down to the vertical when the seat part is lowered, it contains a support part which can be telescopically extended and retracted in the longitudinal direction thereof. The support part is adjusted along the lower leg support with the aid of a pulley-like cable running over three rollers when this is adjusted with the aid of an actuator engaging between the seat part and lower leg support.
  • the invention specified in claim 1 is based on the object of creating a device of the type mentioned at the outset which permits a lower, flatter construction of the seat as a whole, in particular of the seat support.
  • the forced coupling of seat and backrest according to the invention is advantageously achieved by means of a roller chain and three sprockets, one sprocket being the “loose roller” of the "reverse pulley” and the other two sprockets only serving to deflect the chain force.
  • the entire arrangement is advantageously made such that the backrest is tilted about twice as fast as the seat is tilted. This is achieved in that, as a result of the pulley-like arrangement, the adjustment paths and thus the adjustment speeds between the fastening points of the force transmission element, e.g. the roller chain, on the seat-side end of the backrest on the one hand and on the upper part on the other hand, are brought together in a certain ratio.
  • the movement ratio mentioned above can be achieved by selecting the distances.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic illustration of a dental patient chair in a side view, specifically in a position that corresponds to a lying position of a patient and a standing position of a practitioner. The upper part of the chair is in the highest position.
  • FIG. 2 shows the upper part of the chair with seat and backrest with the backrest raised. The mechanism for the lower part of the chair is not shown here.
  • FIG. 3 shows a detail X from FIG. 1 in an enlarged representation.
  • the patient chair shown in FIG. 1 contains a base part 1 with a scissor-like height adjustment device. direction 2. Since this is described in more detail in EP-Bl-0 373 245 mentioned at the outset, it need not be explained in detail. It should only be noted here that one of the two upper support arms 3, 4 is articulated (3) to an upper part denoted by 5, while the other (4) is slidably guided in a slide guide 6 in the direction of the arrow. The same applies to the two lower arm ends.
  • a seat support 8 is pivotably articulated by means of a tilt bearing 7. Fixed to the seat support 8 is the seat and leg support designated 9.
  • the seat support 8 also includes a curved guide 10, in which the front, lower end part 11 of the backrest 12, often referred to in technical terms as "sword", is guided.
  • An adjustment device 13 is located at a distance from the tilt point 7.
  • the adjusting device 13 is articulated on the one hand on the upper part and on the other hand on the seat support 8 and causes the seat to tilt about the tilt axis 7.
  • the adjusting device 13 can, as shown, be activated be electromotive spindle drive; it is conceivable and within the scope of the invention it is alternatively to provide a hydraulic or pneumatic drive.
  • a device is provided between the upper part 5 and the end part 11, which effects a forcibly coupled adjustment of the seat and leg support 9 and the backrest 12 of the chair.
  • the device consists of a flexible, flexible force transmission member 15 and three guide rollers 16 to 18, which act like a pulley.
  • the force transmission member 15 is fastened with a fixed point 19 on the upper part 5 and with a fixed point 20 on the backrest sword 11.
  • the two rollers 17 and 18 serve as guide rollers and are fixedly mounted on the upper part 5 while the roller 16 "Loose roll" of the pulley system and for this purpose is mounted on the lower end of a fork-like extension 8a of the seat support 8.
  • the backrest In the position shown in FIG. 2, the backrest is in an upright position.
  • the seat and legrest are in the typical sitting position, in which the seat is tilted slightly forwards and the legrest is directed obliquely downwards. In this position there is a distance a between the fastening point 20 and the guide roller 18. At the other end of the force transmission element, a distance b is present between the fastening point 19 and the loose roller 16.
  • the aim should be that the backrest is tilted more quickly than the seat and leg support is tilted.
  • the backrest should be tilted about twice as fast as the seat and legrest is tilted.
  • the adjustment movement is initiated by activating the adjusting device 13.
  • the motor pushes the mother tube upwards via a spindle.
  • the seat support 8 is tilted about the tilt axis 7.
  • the roller 16 moves upwards relative to the upper part 5;
  • the force transmission member 15 guided around this roller is tightened by the weight of the backrest 12 and the sword 11.
  • the fastening point 20 moves at approximately twice the speed of the upward movement of the roller 16 and allows the sword 11, guided by the curved guide 10, to slide into the seat support 8 until the one shown in FIG. 1 Lying position is reached.
  • a roller chain can be used with particular advantage as the power transmission member 15; the three rollers 16 to 18 are then designed as sprockets.
  • a toothed belt with corresponding toothed pulleys, a flat or V-belt or a cable pull with correspondingly designed rollers can also be used.
  • a special embodiment of the invention provides for parts 15 to 18 to be provided twice, for example two roller chains and six sprockets.
  • the sprockets are then advantageously arranged in pairs on a common axis.
  • the arrangement is such that one of the two chains arranged side by side and running independently of one another is designed to be slightly longer than the other. As a result, only one of the two chains is loaded, which runs a little longer than the safety chain with no load. If the load chain breaks for any reason, the second safety chain comes into effect.
  • a safety chain switch 22 is activated by the load chain break, with which the electronics of the chair, in particular the adjusting drive 13, are switched off.
  • Figure 3 shows the safety switch as a detail in an enlarged view.
  • the force transmission link 15, for example the roller chain is taut. It is guided over a sliding block 23 which is tiltably mounted on the upper part 5. If the backrest 12 moves onto an object, the sword 11 is easily pulled out of the seat support 8; the chain would no longer be taut.
  • the sliding block lying on the chain is tilted and activates the chain switch 22, which in turn switches off the chair electronics.

Abstract

Dispositif de réglage du siège et du dossier à accouplement forcé d'un fauteuil de dentiste. L'extrémité (11) côté siège du dossier est guidée dans un guide courbe (10) du support (8) du siège et le support (8) du siège est articulé sur une partie supérieure (5) de façon à basculer autour d'un axe (7) proche du dossier, de sorte que lorsque le dossier (12) s'incline, le support du siège (9), y compris le siège et le support (9) des jambes, bascule en arrière autour de l'axe de basculement (7) et inversement, bascule en avant lorsque le dossier est redressé. L'accouplement forcé est assuré par un organe souple flexible de transmission de forces (15) dont une extrémité (point de fixation 19) est fixée à la partie supérieure (5) et l'autre extrémité (point de fixation 20) est fixée à l'extrémité (11) côté siège du dossier (12). L'organe de transmission de forces est guidé sur au moins une poulie (16), comme avec un palan, et effectue ainsi un mouvement de réglage causé par l'accouplement forcé du dossier et du siège. On utilise avantageusement comme organe de transmission de forces une chaîne guidée sur des poulies d'entraînement.
